Anyway, enough of my rambling. I know the reason we are here is to see a grocery haul and what I've prepped for the week!
The very limited grocery items I got! Some diced tomatoes, cherry chocolate soy ice cream, veggie broth and some cannellini beans.
The first half of the produce was some snow peas, cabbage, spinach, green onions and zucchini.
I also got some mirepoix, cauliflower, asparagus and shredded carrots.
I promptly dumped about 60-70% of my groceries into a pot and made a giant pot of hearty veggie soup. This was the before picture when everything was just added to the pot.
This is how it turned out! I added the spinach and the beans in at the end and it looks gorgeous. I know soup isn't typically known to be a summer dish but to be honest this screams summer in a bowl to me! The gorgeous veggies are so fresh and delicious and I'm glad that I decided not to be lazy and get it done. I'll get a lot of meals out of it this week too!
So that's what I have for you today! I'll be back on Tuesday to show you some meals I've been eating lately! I hope you all enjoy the rest of your weekend <3

Your veggie soup looks great & so colorful! (I had to look up "mirepoix" haha!)
Colorful soups certainly are summery! The other great thing about a meal in a pot is that you can come back to it for several servings.
Thank you! It's sooooo good!! Haha, yeah it's just the soup starter stuff of onions, celery and carrots.
I agree! It's like summer in a bowl and I'm so glad I made it. It'll last me through the week too :)
Yummy soup!! I wish you'd post a recipe :)
It was really easy. I sautéed the mirepoix in a little olive oil and garlic for a few minutes then added the rest of the veggies (except the spinach), the broth and the tomatoes. I cooked until everything was soft and melded together. I added in the spinach and beans at the end and seasoned with salt and pepper. So easy!
The veggies I used for this was zucchini, cauliflower, mirepoix, asparagus and spinach.
I like soup for the summer- overall it doesn't make the house too hot. XD Looks really yummy.
I love it too! It was really good, thanks!
I dont think I would ever spring for Mirepoix. Too miserly I suppose. Probably makes the Soup even more delicious though - like somebody else made it.
Sometimes I just spring for the extra buck or two to save the hassle. My free time has been extremely limited lately and spending it chopping veggies just wasn't appealing to me :)
The soup came together so quickly! You know I love my chunky veggie soups :)
Thanks xoxo
No prob!!
